Oh, hallelujah. We are saved. Meh. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm more likely to just buy the fries and forget the ketchup, not forgo the fries because of the ketchup. Who doesn't buy fries because the packet is sloppy?

Really? Do enough people even want ketchup on their fries that this explains the drop?

The little packets have entertainment value -- I think of the time a coworker dropped one just after tearing the corner and caught it by clapping her hands together. She wound up taking the afternoon off vs trying to explain the splatters the rest of the day. Those not accessorized with ketchup had a goodlaugh.
